TUB " OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: DECE?iIBTTR 1, . MOT. JORK OF THE WOMEN'S CLUBS Tederation Would BsJie Lf jal Major ity for Oirli to Twenty-One Years. LITTER TAETCXQ THE DISTEICT More Oeaeral Wk Resoow alblllljr ef District Coeveatleas la Aaaesard by Clabe ef ntlltr Ctantilllfi. At the recent meeting of the executive committee of the Nebraska Federation of Women' club held at Lincoln on of tba point moit strongly emphasised In the plana for strengthening' the district - or ganisation waa the duty of the amallrr town to entertain the district 'meetings and not impose too much upon the larger towns. It was pointed out that a the larger town must bear the responsibility of entertaining the state convention they should not be expected to entertain the district meeting a well. In some of the district the disposition haa been to expect too much of the larger club and town, the excuse being that with strong organi sation and good place of meeting the tax la not aa great a In the smaller town: also that a larger attendance 1 Insured ' by meeting In the larger places, a the women will combine business with pleasure and embrace the opportunity for doing their shopping a well a attending the meeting. Unquestionably this Is an ad vantage from the standpoint of the Indi vidual, but not from that of the federa tion. ' , The whole matter I well summed up In the argument of on of the district Vice presidents: "The small towns need the dis trict meetings and they mean little and sometime nothing to the larger town." To begin with, the clubs of the larger town are too frequently heavily taxed with demand of their own Immediate com munltle that call for the expenditure of time, strength and money. 'While It sel dom occur that the big otubs are not glad to entertain the district meeting It la a fact that this meeting 1 only another tax that brings comparatively little re turn. The program, good though it may be, afford little that' the. women of the larger towns have not many other oppor tunities , of , hearing while the men that element so desirable to- reaohnever com out. Then, too, the opportunity for shop ping Is difficult for most women to resist and proves distracting If not monopolising. On the other hand, tha district conven. tlon or any other meeting Of Us character Is alwaya an Inspiration to. a smaller com munity. Bringing as It doe speakers upon ' ' subjects of Interest to all, It program ' attract the men aa well aa the women and so attain their fullest educational useful neaa. A dlntrict convention Is one of tho best thing known to revive a declining club In a small town and It frequently ex tends lts Inspiration to adjoining towns. There Is alwaya more aoctabillty; there is - always closer touch with results that ex tend to the whole district. Legal Majority for Women. The California Federation . of Women' club 1 working to have the age of legal majority made the same for women as for men. At present a girl become of age at IS years, while the boy la a minor until be is 21. The Injustice as well as the danger of this plan haa been brought to th attention of the women by Secretary Gate of the atate Department of Charities and Correction', . He hka urged the need of protecting girl : between 18 and., ti. which ' period, he asserts. Is the most dangerous in their life.. "Released from the authority of parents or guardian while notyyet able to stand alone," he said, "trusting the world because Ignorant of its ways, our girls are too often"-the easy victim of unscrupulous men, especially when they have property. One curious way In 'which the present law often works against women Is that a man's Insurance policy Is usually made out to his minor children. In this way the son who may be nearly 21 gets the benefit of his father's Insurance money, while the daugh ter who lo younger than he but has passed the age of majority, has no claim upon any share of It." Thia matter Is also receiving the atten-u tion of club and federations ef other state, especially those that have taken active Interest In Juvenile legislation. In attaining her legal majority at IS, the way ward girl has afforded a serious problem to those who are trying to help her, for being released from authority at IS, when still incompetent to Judge for herself, she too frequently drift back to her unwhole some environment and Influence ' from which abe cannot b restrained.

HOME-MADE CHRISTMAS GIFTS Suggestion for the In gen loss Woaii with , Little Honey to Spend. Th woman of limited mean need not necessarily be deprived the pleasure of making Christmas gifts it she is Ingenious. There are numeroua very acceptable things she can make for her friends. Even If she be not skilled with her needle a review of almost any cook book will provide sugges tions for . dainty gifts that will have the additional attraction of being out of the ordinary. . Following are suggestion for sweetmeat that would prove acceptable Christmas gifts: Coffee Fudge Boll together two cupfuls of granulated sugar and one cupful of strong coffee. Add either one teaspoonful of butter' or on, tablespoonful , of rich cream. Boll until a spoonful of the candy stiffens when beaten. Then take from the Are, beat hard with a big spoon until the candy begins to grow stiff, quickly beat In one cupful of broken shetlbark or pecan nut . meats, and- pour .out Into a buttered tin. This is an extremely toothsome candy and not well known. Orange Marmalade Slice very thin, rind and all, three large seedless oranges and one lemon. Pour over the sliced fruit eleven tumblers of cold -water, and set away for twenty-four hours. Then boll slowly for one hour. After boiling, add four pounds of graulated sugar," and set away for twenty-four hours longer, then boll for one hour and twenty minutes, or perhaps a little longer. Pour Into Jelly glasses. This amount will fill eight glasses,' Cover with parafflne. The total cost of the marmalade Is not more than 75 cents, glasses Included, and here are eight presents provided tor that ridiculous small eum. Fruit Cake Cream together one and one half cupful of powdered vugar and one cupful of butter.' Add the weir beaten yolk of six eggs and one and one-fourth cupfuls of sifted flour, one-half teaspoonful of ground cloves and one teaspoonful each of powdered cinnamon and nutmeg. Then add the stiffly beaten whites or the eggs and another cupful of flour. Add one-half pound of raisins, seeded and chopped, one- halt pound of currant, one-fourth ot a pound of citron, one-half cupful of chopped almonds and a little chopped orange peel. All these had been dredged with flour. As a last touch add a cupful of mixed pre servesstrawberries, cherries, peach and quince all chopped and well drained of their sirup. Divide the fruit cake aougn equally In four small pans, steam for one hour, then bake for half an hour in a steady oven.

C2 TAKING OUT A TIGHT CORK Simple Way Oat ot Troobleeome Dif ficulty teat Anyone Mar Follow. "Do you know how to take a tight cork out of a bottle without a corkscrew T" was asked by a woman the other day at a gosalp party. "It's a mighty good thing to know In an emergency. "My alster and I were coming back Jrom th mountains last week and she got faint on th ear. I had a bottle ot aromatlo spirits of ammonia In my bag, but when I tried to get the cork out. It simply wouldn't budge. " 'Let me take It out for you,' suggested a man acrosa '.he aisle. "Then borrowing my pocket "knife and using his own with It he removed the cork In a Jiffy. He Inserted the bladea on op- poalte side between the bottle and the cork, each one turned In a different direc tion. Then when the blades were firmly pushed In he simply . pressed the two to gether, gave them a wrench sideways and the cork came out without any trouble. have since tried It on larger bottlo with the same success. It Is a trick worth knowing." KEEPING THE PILLOW SMOOTH Little Trick that Does Away with Ife , neaslty for Patent Devices. "I thought I knew everything about housekeeping the other day. but the last trip I made to Boston the maid In the hotel put me on to a new wrinkle tn making beds, or rather in aettlng up pillows. "I have always thought that placing a pillow properly was one of the most dir floult things Imaginable, for unless It waa stuffed pretty full, wrinkles were bound to shew in the slip. But the way the hotel maid did was to taks the pillow by two corners, th long way, and shake the feather, down well. "Then, still retaining hold of the ends, ah laid the pillow on the bed, the edge coming to where tha pillow would naturally 11a Then she turned It right back In place. "This left all the extra fullness. In the slip beneath the pillow and out of sight. while the pillow itself presented a smooth unbroken surface. Certainly thia method adds materially to the appearance ef the bed and I waa glad to know how It waa done." Panaaaa New the Place.

CASE DECISIVE, SAYS HALL Attorney for Wafer Company clare Opinion Is Conclusive All Material Point Raised la Controversy. De- Attorney for the Water board were not ready to discuss the opinion In the hydrant rentals 'case Saturday morning, both John It. Webster and C. C. Wright pleading they had not familiarised themselves with It sufficient to comment upon it. 'I cannot tell yet Just what wo will do," said Mr. Wright. "Of course, the case will have to be tried again In this court and at the new trial we may raise aome new Issues not raised In the former trial. I am not familiar with the Opinion and do not know Just how conclusive It Is. We will take the matter up and decide our course some time before' the case comes up for retrial next spring." "I have not aeen the opinion yet," aaid John L. Webster, "and I cannot comment upon It until I have given It careful con alderatlon. Just now I am - working on the case relating to the '.purchase of the plant and I will not give much attention t this case until the other " one 1 dis posed of." . R. Beecher Howell of the. Water board said he had hot seen the decision Satur day morning and had no comment to make upon It. He said while It waa a matter largely for the attorneys, the water board woud probably discuss It at lta next meet ing. .. Hall ntDpaaseV Decision . R. B. Hall, attorney for the water com pany, In commenting upon the case, said: "The opinion of the circuit court of ap peals on the hydrant rental case Is decisive of the matters In controversy. It, In ef fect, settles that the city shall pay tha hydrant rental and Interest at 7 per cent from the time of default. This will be In terest on several hundred thousand dollars. as there are suit and bills due for that large an amount, and In a very short time a new suit will be commenced for the hy drant rentals which fall due on January L 'The opinion,-however strong It may be on the matter In controversy, is even more suggestive In respect to matters which the court speak about than that which they de nize; for Jnstance, the court, on page ( lays special emphasis and italicizes the fact that th city by the act of 1908 specifically procured the legislature to deprive It of th right to pay ' It debts by repealing every provision of law for the levy and collection of taxea for hydrant rentals. This emphasis can have but one meaning. The court, however, did not find It neces sary to pass upon the question, aa It waa settled by other matters which It did do-clde. "One matter decided tn the opinion and of special Importance In elation to the attitude of the Water board In It suit with the city, 1 given In this language: "A municipal 'corporation. In respect of Its purely business relations as distin guished from those that are governmental, Is held to the same standard of just deal ing that the law exacts of private Indi viduals." "Under that rule the city, like any other parson. Is obliged to pay f or the water which It receives and tor the service which the water company render. The hydrant rental case, of course, will be pushed to a hearing at aa early date as practicable and tho city will pay - Interest on t amount at 7 per cent until It Is paid. The amount which will be due. Including that which falls due on the first day of Jan uary, Is $380,000."

Never surely did the designers achieve alteota of simplicity through auch comple elaboration aa that of which they now make use. A frock may repreaent un limited hand work and aklll, but any hint of fussiness bars It from success. To trim extravagantly . without suggestion of ever trlmming seems te be the dress'maker'a pet problem at present. Embroidered net of one sort or another la used upon everything from velvet to gause, and It see ma that hardly a frock of any pretention la without at least a alight touch of gold or allver In embroidery, buttons, braid, lace, net, tassels. gTelota, or what you wilt- The heavy filet net In allver or gold em broidered In color la effectively used on many frooka but In very descreet quantities and aeems especially liked in what, for lack of a better term. Is called a tucker. Many ef tha fashionable blouses have a very low cut V or U In front and aa the transparent tint cannot very well be con tinued to the lower line -ot this open ing, or at leas would not look well If so continued. It Is customary to fill the open ing up to a rational gulmpe line with aome heavier trimming. Heavy lace la often used, but the favorite material Is heavily embroidered net or some tlmss embroidered velvet or satin. Often thia will be the only bit of handsome embroidery or vivid oolor on the gown, and when successful It adds Immensely te the smartness of the bodice. ROLLER SKATING REVIVED lire.
